The best suv I've ever had!

I bought a 92 Isuzu Trooper in 2006 and it did me great for many years. One issue I did run into was the undercarriage and suspension rusting beyond repair. I blame the rust on lack of care and maintenance and not the vehie and , way it was manufactered. About 2 years prior to taking the vehicle off the road at about 288k miles, my o2 sensor light came on but the way the vehicle ran didn't seem to change. My mechanic hudband told me that it needed a new o2 sensor but since we didn't have the funds to support such a repair I started researching the problem on the web and found that it was just a scheduled warning and my o2 sensor was fine. In order to reset this scheduled warning I had to remove the instrument panel and move a screw from one point to another. Evidently its something Isuzu did to supposedly get more money out of their consumers. Well, thanks to google, the problem never came about again.

Now, that my beloved trooper is going to trooper heaven, we salvaged the engine to build a table out of it for my sons garage themed room. I was already impressed by the 3.2L DOHC Engine but when we pulled it out and as we removed the bolts in it and the peices came apart with great ease i was astonished. This engone block is all aluminum and after almost 300k miles nothing was seized and it was in top notch condition. The same was the case with the transmission. I would recommend this auto to anyone and everyone.
